Posted By: "TechnoTron" Ap 09, 2017
For certain things, the Russian authorities seem to not have him patience to internet. Recently, the Ministry of Justice in this country added a meme which is based ona photo of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to a list of extremist materials, according to reported the newspaper The Washington Post.
The meme has been used, mainly in marches and protests by the Russian regulations against the LGBTI community and its base is a photograph taken by Plato, a famous portrait painter of great personalities.
The original image was carried of the magazine Time when it named it personalityof the year in 2007. At the time, the photographer said that image was transformed into "a postcard that shows all that is wrong with the power and authority in Russia".
The photographer seems to be right: an image made to demonstrate the scope of the power of Russian President ends up becoming the Seahorse battle of those who fight against the same power. Everything is possible on the internet.
The truth is that it is not the first time that the Russian authorities undertaken it against memes, which are nothing more than one form of expression, particularly suited to the dynamics of the network: allows you to communicate a multitude of messages and its transformation does not require more technical knowledge, which gives priority to its transmission speed.
In 2015, Valeriy Syutkin, a Russian romantic singer managed to a judge to order the blocking of a meme with its image. The legal basis of this prohibition has to do with regulation of the regulator of communications in this country that you cannot use images of celebrities when they have nothing to do with the.
In short, design and publish memes is like playing Russian roulette with justice, almost in a literal way.
Despite talk that has awakened the prohibition of the meme of Putin, the Russian President seems even bother or give importance to these images, according to a spokesman for the Russian Government, quoted by CNN.
And, however, the meme was included in the record of material right-wing extremist, in which shares the place with well different things, such as nazi propaganda and anti-Semitic content.
The funny thing is that other memes of the Russian President are still alive and kicking. The list here is long and includes images which is Putin shirtless, with Bell-bottoms and boots, mounted a whale, a Tyrannosaurus, the lion of Narnia, a bird, a giraffe, a biscuit, fleeing a stormtrooper on top of a bird, riding a bear (the latter perhaps a real image, by the way).
